Jim - my friend wasn't the projectionist, she just worked in the Cinema. I assume the projection system adjusts the sound to suit the speed. I'll ask her when I get a chance, but she moved house yesterday, so might be a little busy.
UK TV is 25fps and movies (all shot at 24fps) are shown on TV here at 25fps (so run 4% shorter) with the sound modified to suit, so it's not an uncommon technology. (No-one notices the speedup and you get one movie frame per TV frame, no 3:2 pulldown, like in 60Hz countries.)
